InterconnectedEp. 77: Measure yourSelf by "who" not "what"I almost made a mistake in celebrating an old client/friend recently. Upon sharing some really exciting personal news with me I almost responded, “Look at everything you’ve accomplished!” *cringe* I was that close to watering down a beautiful moment for her. Fortunately, I realized my societally-programmed misstep before I responded. Instead I said, “Look at who you’ve become.” That is the real celebration.

InterconnectedEp. 60: The Answers Are Within You with Teresa BrennemanMy takeaways from our conversation: Many of us coaches start in fitness; we know we want to help people so it’s a logical starting point. Us big-hearted givers have to be wary of our desire to help & fix. It often comes from a good place… but it is also often rooted in ego & shadow (and is therefore more for us than the other person.) Your trauma, your shadow, & your gift are often intertwined. Take a moment to ask why you’re actually desiring to help/fix. Are you allowing them space to learn & grow? Intuition speaks to you th...

InterconnectedEp. 59: Reclaiming Yourself with Danielle McGinnisMy takeaways: When you are a high-achiever, you’re prone to going down the rabbit hole of things that aren’t right for you/that you aren’t meant to do because you’ve found identity and worthiness in your ability to do things well. “Just because you’re good at something, doesn’t mean you should do it.” You can’t become more of yourself - who you’re meant to be - without suffering. “Suffering is actually a byproduct of you moving towards wholeness.” You can’t ever escape the little voice inside of you; if it isn’t right for you, it...

InterconnectedEp. 58: You Matter with Cornelius KirkMy takeaways: You only know what you know + your environment shapes your experience.. “Where I’m from, you got no girls if you weren’t fresh in shoes or clothes. ‘Successful’ people in my community were the ones selling drugs.” Your past is part of you, but it doesn’t decide who you are - you always have the choice of who you want to be & how you want to move forwards. “I took back my pen. I decided that I wanted to write my story.” Feeling your emotions as a man isn’t weak - it makes you human. None of u...

Having a gut feeling that, “I was meant for more.” but not having the courage to take any real action on that.
